1) Food preservation is defined as a process that prevents certain foods like fruits and vegetables from spoiling for a long period of time while retaining their color, taste, and nutritive value.
2) The main reasons for preserving foods are to avoid wasting excess produce during peak seasons, add variety to meals throughout the year, and make transportation and storage of foods easier.
3) Foods spoil due to the presence of microorganisms, enzymes in the foods, and insects or animals, which are able to grow in foods that have high moisture content, are exposed to air and microorganisms, or are kept at room temperature for long periods.
Food hygiene
This document discusses food hygiene and safety. It covers the importance of protecting food from contamination, preventing bacterial growth, destroying harmful bacteria through cooking. Poor food hygiene can lead to food poisoning outbreaks and legal issues. Good hygiene practices like proper food handling and storage help comply with regulations and reduce waste. Bacteria growth is favored between 5-60 degrees C so food must be kept out of this temperature danger zone. Personal hygiene for food handlers is also essential to prevent contamination.

Techniques for properly storing vegetables include drying, canning, curing and salting, freezing, and common storage methods like leaving items in the ground, burying them, or storing in cellars, crates or barrels. Following the FIFO (first in, first out) method is important for ensuring the oldest food items are used first before they expire. Adhering to specific storage times and regularly checking food quality helps maintain freshness. Benefits of FIFO include less food waste, better food safety, improved customer satisfaction and kitchen efficiency, and aids menu planning.
Food preservation nagamani
This document discusses food preservation, including its definition, objectives, causes of food spoilage, factors affecting food spoilage, principles of food preservation, and classification of foods based on perishability. The key points are:
- Food preservation aims to prevent spoilage, contamination, and nutrient loss to extend the shelf life of foods. It includes methods like drying, refrigeration, fermentation, canning, and adding preservatives.
- The objectives of food preservation are to remove unwanted matter, ensure safety, enhance digestibility, flavor and texture, minimize nutrient loss, and extend shelf life.
- Factors that cause food spoilage include microbial growth, chemical reactions within foods, inappropriate temperatures, moisture changes
Types of food based on its perishability
This document classifies foods into three groups based on perishability:
1) Relatively stable or non-perishable foods like grains and flour that do not spoil unless mishandled.
2) Protectable or semi-perishable foods like potatoes and apples that remain unspoiled for a fairly long period if properly stored.
3) Perishable foods like milk, eggs, meat, and most fruits and vegetables that spoil quickly without preservation. It provides examples of each group and guidelines for properly storing different foods to maximize freshness and minimize spoilage.

- 2. CEREALS & CEREAL PRODUCTS A cereal is any grass cultivated for the edible components of its grain, composed of the endosperm, germ, and bran. Examples of cereal products include wheat, rye, and oat flours and semolina, doughs, breads, breakfast cereals, PASTA. Cereals are staples and are consumed in large quantities by majority of population in the world. Cereals are easy to store because of low moisture content, easy to handle and providing variety to the diet. The principle cereal grains grown in India are wheat, rice, corn, sorghum and barley.
- 3. SPOILAGE IN CEREALS The major factors involved in the spoilage of cereals: moisture levels, physical damage, and temperature. High‐moisture cereal grains, refrigerated dough, breads, soft PASTA, and pastries are susceptible to microbial spoilage. Cereal grains and cereal products normally contain several genera of bacteria, molds, and yeasts. Bacteria can also cause spoilage of cereals, but yeasts cause few spoilage problems.
- 4. PASTA- INTRODUCTION Pasta, a type of starchy noodle or dumpling food or dish typically made from grain flour, commonly wheat, mixed into a paste or dough, usually with water or eggs, and formed or cut into sheets or other shapes. Is PASTA Healthy or Unhealthy? Some types of PASTA are refined during processing, stripping the wheat kernel of the bran and germ, removing many of the nutrients. Sometimes refined PASTA is enriched, meaning it has some nutrients, such as B vitamin and iron, added back in.
- 5. Can pasta go bad? *That depends on the state of the product prior to storage. Dry, sealed packs of pasta have an extremely long shelf life. Since dried pasta has zero moisture content, the risk of bacterial or mould growth is minimal. Hence, it will keep fresh for a while. *On the other hand, cooked pasta has a shorter shelf life. As mentioned above, cooked and uncooked pasta have radically different storage lives and it all boils down to moisture content. *Since cooked pasta is boiled and drenched in hot water, there is a good chance that it will go bad within days. This goes especially if the product has been stored improperly. Exposure to warm temperatures could cause the pasta to spoil quickly. *Dry pasta has a long shelf life but it’s not resistant to spoilage either. It will go bad at some point although this will take a while. How To Store Dry pasta? *It’s important to store cooked and uncooked pasta properly to extend the products’ shelf life. You can start by reading the label for storage instructions SPOILAGE IN PASTA
- 6. SIGNS THAT PASTA HAS GONE BAD How do you know if the dry pasta you’ve kept in storage for so long has gone bad? Look for the following: Insects in the package Mould Off odour If you find any worms in the pasta, make sure you check the whole cabinet and get rid of all of them. Even if there are no obvious signs of spoilage, dry pasta that’s been stored for too long will lose its original flavour. The texture, once cooked, will be a bit different too.
